Piotr Szulczewski (pronounced [ˈpjɔtr ʂulˈt͡ʂɛfskʲi]; born 1981) is a Canadian-Polish businessman and computer engineer who is the founder and former CEO of the mobile-first ecommerce platform focused on low-cost goods, Wish.com.
[2] Just before graduating from the University of Waterloo in 2004 at the age of 23, Szulczewski relocated to Palo Alto, California and commenced a four-month internship coding for Google.
The Korean market demanded more detailed search portals than the minimalist ones used by Google in the West, and effectively trained Szulczewski in how to cater for the public.
[2] In 2009, he saved enough money to leave Google and spent six months at home writing code for an ads recommendation platform that analyzed at a person's browsing behaviors to predict their interests.
[2] Szulczewski states that with Wish.com his primary aim is to create "the largest, most convenient and most affordable shopping mall in the world" and to target low-income households.
